DETERIORATA PT. 2

(The Dark Horde version!)

Go nastily amid the Peace and Tranquility, and remember what satisfaction
there may be in Genocide. As far as possible, without surrender, move into
other people's space. Lie often, and loudly, and listen to the lies of others,
even the slow and incompetent - examples can be made of them later. * Seek out
meek and inoffensive persons: they are annoying, but fun to kill. Do not
bother comparing yourself to others: Those greater than you will eventually be
eliminated, and those lesser than you are dead already. Fart in Grand
Court. * Keep your swords and knives sharp, for all around you are
cha'gua, and looking for an excuse to kill you. * Pillage first, then burn,
and then rape - it's more romantic by firelight. * Exercise caution
around Vikings and Celts. They are crazier than we are: a Celtic Mongol is an
awesome thing indeed. Make him or her your Friend. * But let Life not blind
you to the happier side of things: most Hats are swaggering, tinplated
dictators with delusions of adequacy, and everywhere Life is full of
Incompetence. Advance yourself. Especially do not feign meanness, neither be
cynical about Hate: you are not likely to run out of either. * Take kindly
the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the joys of defenestration
and evisceration for more mature pleasures. Nurture a deep-seated suspicion of
chag'ua women with big boobs: you never can tell. File your teeth regularly.
Discipline is important: practice holding it in between events. * You are a
Scourge of the World, no less than Atilla or the Great Ghengis Himself: you
have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the
Known Worlde is going to pieces in a most laudable manner. * Therefore, do
your utmost to annoy the Powers-that Be, however you may conceive of Them:
BoD, King, or the People's Will; and, whatever your plans of conquest, as you
wade thru the morasses of Peace with fire and sword, annoy your Soul. * With
all it's Truth, High Resolve, and Courage, the Known World still has it's Ugly
Spots and Fubba-Wubbas. Be thoughtless. Strive to be miserable.
